Meet our people of change creating a more equitable tomorrow

As we celebrate IWD, our people from around the world are uniting to hold meaningful dialogues about how to address the gender gap and recognize the outstanding efforts of those who are driving positive change toward equality for all.

We’re driving change not just within Accenture and for our clients, but also driving a sustainable impact on the world around us.

A culture of belonging

Diversity, inclusion and belonging should be every CEO’s top priority, according to our latest Better to Belong Report. When the right people are at the table (Diversity) and have access to equitable experiences (Inclusion), all people will experience a culture of Belonging that leave workers Net Better Off (NBO).

Better managing everyday experiences can unlock various levels of human potential. Our research shows that women have the most to gain from this, with the opportunity to maximize their potential by 5x.

That’s why this IWD, we want to shine a light on six Accenture people of change from around the world who have made incredible contributions toward our culture of equality for all.
